Next has a number of perfumes that smell just like designer fragrances, but what about Just Pink? Does the high street brand’s girly perfume smell like another luxury scent? I’m here to share everything you need to know about the sweet scent you might have seen on a recent trip to Next and the designer fragrance that it smells really similar to.

Just like many of Next’s fragrances, Just Pink might smell familiar. Next has a number of affordable alternatives to expensive perfumes like Chanel’s Coco Mademoiselle and Marc Jacobs’ Daisy to name a few. Read more about the best Next perfume dupes for more.

Like with everything, it’s easy to find a decent perfume if you’ve got more money to play with but in my experience it’s not actually necessary. Whether you’re looking for a dupe of one of your favourite fragrances or just a cheap scent that you don’t need to save up for, it might just take a little bit more work to find it.

My favourite perfume of all time has to be Viktor & Rolfe’s Flowerbomb, but with just a little bit of research you can find some really good copies. And with a cost of living crisis going on, you’ve got to find any way you can to save your pennies, if you ask me!

So let’s take a closer look at Just Pink. Next, read the best Zara perfume dupes, the best ALDI perfume dupes and the best M&S perfume dupes for more affordable fragrances to fall in love with.
